Ford is recalling over 4.3 million pickup trucks and SUVs in the United States due to lighting system defects.

On February 26, Ford Motor Company reported that they will recall nearly 4.4 million pickup trucks and SUVs in the United States due to a software error that could lead to brake failure and external vehicle light malfunctions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the United States stated that this recall involves a software glitch that could cause the tail lights and turn signals on trailers towed by the affected vehicles to lose communication and stop working, thus increasing the risk of collision. Ford plans to update the vehicle software to address this issue, and owners can also take their vehicles to dealerships for free repairs.
